It is the most popular table game in the United States, and is easily found in casinos throughout the world. The object of the game of Blackjack is simply to get more points than the dealer without going over 21. Bred by Sweet Seeds, Black Jack is a cross of Black Domina and Jack Herer. This strain produces thick buds with huge calyxes that are completely encrusted with trichomes. The rules of online blackjack are quite simple: you have to try to score twenty-one points. More precisely, 21 is an ideal option, and it is best to collect the number of points as close as possible to this number. However, you have to be careful, since a player who scores 22 or more points automatically loses.
